The Parade Company.... The Spirit of Detroit.....a legendary Detroit Tradition...

This post is about traditions. Let me start by sharing part of my daily ritual of putting on the coffee (yes... I don't consider this a hassle.... and have not been tempted to switch over to the quick fix of slamming an energy drink fix) and tuning into WJR radio. Today they are broadcasting from The Parade Company and the annual pancake breakfast. This is a major fund raising event for TPC and a vital part of getting major corporate sponsors lined up for the events they do.

These events include America's Thanks Giving Day Parade, The Hob Nobble Gobble, The Turkey Trot, The Detroit Fire Works and much more. If not for this group... how would life be different? No parade? No fire works? Well... I guess it would be kind of empty and much less exciting. I'm not just talking a talk here... I am willing and have walked the walk for TPC. Are you man enough to dress like this?

Here is the challenge. How does a non profit like TPC exist? Certainly not from government funding. Certainly not on it's own dole. It takes donations and fund raising to keep these traditions alive. Now... your not Blue Cross/Blue Shield or GM or Compuware or any of the large corporate donors.

What can the you do to show your support? We've got the perfect answer...

Here is an easy and affordable way to show your support for The Parade Company, The Detroit Lions, The Detroit Tigers AND The Spirit of Detroit. ALL... Detroit Traditions.

When you think about it.... The Spirit of Detroit wraps up the entire conversation in one nice neat package. Do you love the Tigers and all they have done for our spirits this season? Do you love the Lions and the new tough winning image they are forging? Do you love the image of The Spirit of Detroit and what it means to each of us on a personal level?

I am happy to share with you some of my own personal "Spirit of Detroit"... and I am not shy about broadcasting this loud and proud!

NOW THEN... you can join me in showing your own "Spirit" by supporting the fund raiser for this unique collectible and iconic Tee that wraps it all into one package.

Introducing "The Year of the Cat.... Spirit of Detroit" tribute tee. Note the image in each hand of the statue holding up an image of a Tiger in one hand and a Lion in the other.

Proceeds from the sale of this tee will go to The Parade Company. We are planning on $5 per shirt sale to go directly to The Parade Company. Get it now... while supplies last!
